Re: I Think I Am Catching 1st Bees

Well,

I guess I'll get the ladder and take down the three traps I have hanging in trees around the property. Make them more accessible instead of having to fight the underbrush with a 8 ft ladder. I'll also move the three baited hive bodies I set up, higher, on top of some saw horses.

Next question is how often should the LGO be replenished? I soaked a q tip in the oil and taped it on top of the frames.

Someone on an unrelated forum mentioned spraying the trap with Lemon Pledge. Have you heard of such a thing? How about spraying the general area with the pledge?

Re: I Think I Am Catching 1st Bees

OK, bees are buzzing and sitting on the tailgate of my truck at home now. My thoughts are to set them on a stand at the location i intend to keep them and pull the screen off. I was thinking about pulling the cover off and adding a top feeder, since the trap is a 10 frame deep. I don't want to leave them in it for an extended amount of time but until they are adjusted to the new landscape. The swich out the trap for a hive body in the same location. Any thoughts on this?
